Hi all,
I have an 18 week old who uses a dummy to get to sleep (aside from the dummy he will self settle and he has no other props - no rocking or feeding to sleep etc).
It falls out of his mouth in his sleep and normally he'll sleep through sleep cycles at night but wakes up after one 45min cycle in the day. This week he has been waking at night every 1-2hrs but going back to sleep when I pop it back in.
I know 4 months is a regression anyway but it seems the dummy may be causing issues.
Is there any way I can break the habit without crying it out at this age, or is he too little given no other props? Ideally I'd like him to take longer daytime naps too and wonder if the dummy is also causing that issue.
